Falling Lightpole

[MWN]

This happened at HS game in Arkansas. Broken bones in leg for referee and player suffered cuts and bruises. Lucky nobody died.

Damn. That fell in a hurry.

Wonder if parents thought the ref deserved it for calling the throw in the wrong way.

I guarantee you 47.35% thought he deserved it for calling it the wrong way. 50% of the parents agreed with the call and were horrified this wonderful ref was injured. The other 2.65% of the parents from the 47.35% group, disagreed with the majority from their side and wished the light pole hit them instead.

So the questions are:
1. Poor design, poor construction or poor maintenance?
2 Who gets fired/sued?
